Sewing your own clothes is a fantastic way to create a look that’s totally you. If your dream custom wardrobe includes unique prints and patterns, you’ll definitely want to check out our gorgeous imported fabrics from Lady McElroy!
What to make with Lady McElroy fabrics? We love their cotton lawns for tops like the Patina Blouse and the Tie Bow Blouse, rayons for dresses like Romey, and linen/rayon blends for dresses like Hinterland, jumpsuits like Zadie, and skirts like Holyoke.
Rayon challis is smooth and cool, with a beautiful drape. We love how gorgeous Lady McElroy prints look on rayon challis—they’re so perfect for dresses and tops for all seasons. We’ll use these fabrics for garments like Sandeep and The Florence that incorporate pretty draped ruffles into their design.
Lady McElroy’s linen/rayon has the drape of a rayon combined with the texture of a soft linen. This fabric is amazingly comfortable for summertime, and it’s perfect for layering in cooler weather. We love a linen/rayon blend for pants and tops, and for dresses like The Dress Shirt and Belemnite.
In addition to their beautiful woven fabrics, we carry a selection of super special Lady McElroy knits we think you’ll love! We can’t wait to sew with these high quality, organic cotton/jersey knits—they’re super soft with a nice stretch recovery, so they’re perfect for tees, tanks, underwear, as well as for knit garments like the Pearl Cardigan and Lotta Dress.
